SNRNP70
Description
The SNRNP70 (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein U1 subunit 70) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
SNRNP70 is a protein that is involved in splicing, a process that removes introns from pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) and joins exons together to create mature mRNA. It is a component of the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP), a complex that recognizes the 5' splice site of pre-mRNA. SNRNP70 binds to the loop I region of the U1 snRNA, which is a small RNA molecule that is part of the U1 snRNP.
SNRNP70 is a component of the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP), which is essential for recognizing the 5' splice site of pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) and the subsequent assembly of the spliceosome. SNRNP70 binds to the loop I region of the U1 snRNA.
SNRNP70 is also known as RNPU1Z, RPU1, SNRP70, Snp1, U1-70K, U170K, U1AP, U1RNP.
